(2010-07-14)An amperometric glucose biosensor was fabricated using electospun polyaniline fibers. Polyaniline was reacted with camphorsulfonic acid to produce a salt, which was then dissolved in chloroform containing polystyrene. Using ...
-
(2019-07-22)We report on highly functional, electrospun fibers of hydrogen-bonding polymers which exhibit composition-dependent mechanical properties and sustained antioxidant activity. The fibers were electrospun from dimethylformamide ...

(2019-04-22)Each year, hundreds of thousands of Americans are affected by surgical site infections (SSIs), resulting in billions of dollars spent on additional healthcare and thousands of lives lost. These SSIs are often caused by ...
-
(2010-10-12)Nanochannel devices have been explored over the years with wide applications in bio/chemical analysis. With a dimension comparable to many bio-samples, such as proteins, viruses and DNA, nanochannels can be used as a ...

(2014-07-12)Each year millions of Americans receive grafts to replace and repair damaged tissue such as arteries or skin. Autografts are the current gold standard for treatment; however, synthetic grafts are a common alternative due ...
-
(2017-12-05)The limited availability of autografts has driven tissue engineers to fabricate synthetic grafts that temporarily replace tissue function and direct tissue regeneration. To achieve functional repair, these grafts need to ...

(2008-08-19)Cellulose is one of the Earth’s most abundant natural polymers and is used as a raw material in various applications. Recently, cellulose based electro-active paper (EAPap) has been investigated for its potential as a smart ...
-
(2009-06-02)Electrospinning is a technique to achieve nanometer scale fibers. Similar to the conventional spin methods of making fabric, the viscous polymer solution is ejected from a spinneret; stretched and solidified in the air, ...
-
(2023-07-17)The ability to treat complex medical issues often requires dynamic and versatile biomaterials. Electrospinning is a fabrication technique which enables this type of material through anisotropic mechanical properties, high ...
-
(2009-05-15)In the recent years, researchers have discovered a multitude of applications using nanofibers in fields like composites, biotechnology, environmental engineering, defense, optics and electronics. This increase in nanofiber ...
-
(2022-07-28)Polyacrylonitrile based electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were used as a resistive type gas sensor to detect the adsorption of NO₂ gas. In an attempt to enhance the sensitivity CNFs to NO₂ for use in non-destructive ...
-
(2020-03-12)Encapsulating functional materials inside fibrous structures with the ability to dispense them on demand is an enabling technology that can open new frontiers in developing multifunctional composites and smart textiles. ...
